For college graduates who are looking for meaningful, community-focused work, not-for-profit organizations can be a valuable option. According to not-for-profit.org, a non-profit is an "organization formed for the purpose of serving...a public or mutual benefit other than the pursuit or accumulation of profits." These organizations abide by strict guidelines in order for the government to grant them tax-exempt status.

Many college students may have interned with a non-profit organization in college or during the summers and want to continue to work in this field after graduation. Others may have participated in community service projects or community-based courses and become interested in non-profits due to these connections. Other grads may be looking for a way to use their organizational or management skills for use in an industry that is not a traditional for-profit corporation. Whatever the motivation, a position at a non-profit can provide a rewarding experience and lasting connections for new college graduates.
